Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, dry
This is a deliberately oxidative white made under a veil of flor-like yeast for years in barrel, giving it a distinctive nutty, curry-spice character rather than fresh fruit. Expect a full-bodied, intensely dry wine with walnut, green apple and dried fruit notes, backed by bracing acidity that keeps it vibrant despite the oxidative style. It's built for savoury pairings, especially the classic match with Comté cheese or dishes finished with a splash of the wine itself.
